many other countries, the main problem is the the support of a us permanent member of the sorry a un council permanent member which is the uh the us which has the veto right you know so basically we do not depend on the un in any way what what we depend on is the logic of resistance, this is what we want, what we depend on, as people, as government, uh, as leadership, for example, syrian president, bashar assad and... also dr.dar, the syrian foreign minister, used to state always that we always respond to these attack, we always retaliate, we do not need to clarify how, but the israel is know, this is how we retaliate, when we support the resistance always, they will attack, we may not have always the advanced, the most advanced weapons, because they have weapons that syria has is all soviet takes and and uh these still these old soviet text mostly achieve like more than 50 to 60% interceptions, which is good, still we don't have the same like the same weapons that israel has, but still we can resist with supporting the resistance always, we do not, we do not back down, that's our point, and

the tribunals are powerless, the un security council has been nothing but a spectator for four months as hundreds of innocent people are dying daily in gaza. how can this status quo change?" " in your opinion, and in a case like this, how and where can accountability start to take shape? i can see that the un has its limits, but it's a hell of lot better than the international rules-based system, which has no limit and which has no jurisdiction or validity, so what i would like to do is say, look, the un was set up a time when we..." did things sensibly, i applaud the russians, the chinese, the iranians, now the syrian and now the irakis for using the un and the un security council, which does have some teeth in their best effort to to do the right thing. now in the process, the us is completely, completely isolated, when it votes, it has maybe two allies, at israel, and a obscure set of islands in the pacific ocean that is forced to vote with the united states, so it's maybe three to hundreds, so this is going to work its way out, i don't rule out the un, it's the only thing we have

well, i think a un security council is an important role. it does have an important role and it's important to have a veto power here as well, cuz otherwise you'll have a groups that will align together and overpower present potential elements. in this case, you see vast majority of the un general assembly or in the money area, but yet the security council doesn't necessarily agree on. on a i mean genocide or a potential genocide occurring in the, in the gaza area is one is a very, very clear example of that. and here we've got one country or maybe 2, the better and, and some close out lives that will continually block any type of potential actions that take place. so it's, but i think i think the dialogue that takes place the, the elements that take place, the intent is very critical is important to have an organizational element to, to that place that the un security council role, that it actually plays. i mean, even if no accident occurs, it's still important to bring up those cases in, into bringing it out in the open and, and they have

so, um, sadly it's, it's the same old story and they'll be complaints made with un security council can be and there'll be no action taken by the united nations to uh, for tail this terrace activity and klein, we see the rushes left to constantly trying to shed light on the suffering stemming from west and back ukrainian attacks on civilians. what sort of response do you expect to you and to take if this continues so sadly out of the united nation take no action. because you know, as i stated earlier, the united states is one of the original members and has the veto power of united nations. and no actions can be taken because the united states will they tell and you have britain and france as well. so those 3 countries that are like make up part of the, the supporters of ukraine in this conflict uh with the link to anything. so there will be, there will be no action taking the benefits. anyone in the right. what then? so you saying crushes response to, i mean it, the government is required to protect its citizens on our as national know what sort of legal response do you think russia wo

the debris, the attach this request, the un security council is conveying to address the cranes were sent stripe on the russian city of list. that task must go to this camp of targeting civilian areas in order to instill panic and create misery. of the 28 people died, including a pregnant woman and her child and a missile attack carried up in the ukrainian armed forces. we have no doubt that the targets and the timing of the attacks were chosen deliberately. there are a few recreational places in the city and the neo nazis deliberately waited for the moment when families would go out for a walk on a day off and cynically attacked. one of the only places of leisure in this a chance to strike was probably carried out with hi maurice. today, we'll probably hear claims that russia convenes meetings on ukraine too often we do not come up with excuses. ukrainian militants have become so violent that every week they hit civilian infrastructure and killed civilians on the territory of russia. this is the 4th terror attack conducted by ukraine against restaurant in just a month and a half rus

wouldn't veto uh, multiple security council attempts to stop the bloodshed and death of innocent women and children, now what it? well, at the us statement at the un security council showed, the us is there to take the exact position of israel, not to move forward any... negotiations, they again simply called for the release of the hostages and a short pause uh in the bombing, that's not a negotiating position at all. now what's the impact of this world outrage on israel, and it will get worse and worse. israel's ports are blockaded, ships are no longer willing to dock there or come through the suez canal to israel, industries are increasingly shut down and its population in the hundreds of thousands is leaving. this is a war that is so criminal, it can't be defended. "the us continues to do that, they are, their only role in the negotiations is to attempt to sabotage the negotiations and to pressure the surrounding arab states to make concessions, trying to force them to back solidarity with palestine, and it's actually doing the opposite, the the us position is totally unreasonable, so totally supportive of israel and this genocide..." taking pl

he should have reported to the un security council, and i sent a copy of the letter to all countries on the board of governors. unfortunately. he didn't take action on our letter. he is also responsible in the face of history, because the agency is responsible. when someone threatens to use nuclear bomb, it's the agency's duty to take a stance. these are the circumstances when such crimes, killings, especially of innocent children and women, are happening. if these international organizations indeed play further to the hands of superpowers and follow their orders, they'll lose their credibility, and this discredit. is there a plan in the near future to ramp up uranium enrichment beyond 60% considering that the other parties to the jcpo and even the agency itself has been rather untrustwatory when it comes to their promises to us is beholden to the programs of nation. the islamic republic of iran's nuclear program is entirely peaceful. we have sent this strategic document we're acting upon within this framework, the framework of iran's national nuclear program to the agency since last

the syrian arab republic expresses its deep concern over the state of paralysis of un security council as the us henders its ability to assume its responsibilities in halting such dangerous violations. a damascus meantime says washington is trying to get this revive terrorist activities in syria. the iraqi government, as school the strikes and open act of aggression, while the iranian farm industry called a continuation of such incidents, a threat to peace and stability in the region. and so, as a tension is a clearly rising across them, at least, policies that shape bogus is we're looking at how west and the states are viewing the overnight american asteroid. it's on syria and iraq. this latest escalation in the middle east. and of course the story of middle east and instability didn't begin on october 7th, but this latest episode certainly did with the homeless attacks and the as well as israel's punitive attack, then on gaza at the who the melisha in yemen. the there um, you know, you had a lateral blockade of the red sea, the attacks on shipping. and most recently this attack on th
